Voters in Idaho will decide if WA Border counties Planned Parenthood will no longer need to fund Idaho clients for abortion

Since June 2022 Governor Jay Inslee has allowed Washington State Border Counties of Pend Orielle, Stevens, Spokane, Whitman, Asotin, Columbia and Garfield Counties taxpayers to pay for abortions from Idaho residents especially those who came from Kootenai, Boundary, Bonner, Benewah, Latah and Nez Perce Counties.

 

Idaho United for Women and Families was able to get enough signatures for Idaho voters to decide on November 3rd to keep Idaho closed to abortion or allow Planned Parenthood to establish clinics again in Post Falls, Sandpoint, Coeur d'Alene, Moscow, Bonners Ferry and Lewiston.  

 

Idaho voters will ultimately decide if the border counties will continue to accept patients for abortion or establish their own clinics.

East Anchorage residents can start a recall campaign against George Martinez, Jr on August 28th

 

According to Anchorage Municipal Ordinance the people of East Anchorage can not start a recall campaign against the piece of garbage Assemblyman named George Martinez, Jr until August 28th.  George needs to resign to keep Anchorage moving forward.  He betrayed the people of East Anchorage by being dishonest and has been double dipping and promoting the Anchorage Assembly to profit financially for himself.  If we are successful in removing him then there will be a special election to replace an Assemblyman as well as mayor.  Just remember George you resign you get to run your own business without having to report your income.

It is time for East Anchorage to remove George Martinez from office

 

Last April a majority of East Anchorage residents decided that George Martinez, Jr should serve another three year term.  

 

While George has been in office.  He has chosen to play with his New York friends in Puerto Rico on Anchorage taxpayers dime.  Event has nothing to do with Anchorage.  Thanks to Don Handleland, Eagle River and Chugiak Assemblyman for the evidence of this Puerto Rico event

 

The second those who contributed to George Martinez, Jr reelection campaign have been betrayed by his personal trip to South Florida by using their money for his personal benefit.  https://www.adn.com/opinions/editorials/2026/06/27/editorial-a-solo-strategic-planning-retreat-at-30000-feet/

East Anchorage District 5 had a chance to elect someone with transparency by the name of Cody Anderson.  

 

Here are the options we have in this district has George can take the high road and resign his seat then people in East Anchorage can select someone to fill the remainder of his term.   

 

The people of East Anchorage can file a recall petition to remove him from office by collecting signatures and have a recall election.  My prediction unlike Felix Rivera and Meg Zalatel in Assembly District 4 in 2021 where the charges are more concrete misuse of funds versus a disagreement in procedure.  If he does not survive the Municipal Charter does not bar him from running again to fill his seat again if elected.  You can not bring same charge to remove him again.  My prediction is he will not survive recall election. 

 

Remember George is a member of the Democratic Socialist of America who do not believe in defeat of crazy ideas.
